A Review of Candidates for a Validation Data Set for High-Assay Low-Enrichment Uranium Fuels

A Review of Candidates for a Validation Data Set for High-Assay Low-Enrichment Uranium Fuels

Many advanced reactor concept designs rely on high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel, enriched up to approximately 19.75% <sup>235</sup>U by weight. Efforts are underway by the US government to increase HALEU production in the United States to meet anticipated needs. However, very...
